The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 654 Sheila’s Kidnapping
Sheila was frightened by the footsteps she heard. She had asked someone to talk to her and give her answers, and now that someone was coming, she was in a panic! What if the person walking towards her didn’t want to talk? “Who is it? Please, someone say something! Do you know who you’re dealing with? My son is going to be very upset!” Sheila began to thrash, but the ropes were strong. The footsteps stopped very close to her. Suddenly, thick hands restrained her. Sheila felt her blindfold being touched. She stopped struggling; maybe someone was going to let her see. Great! Let’s see who the kidnapper is! When the blindfold came off, Sheila found it a bit difficult to see because of the brightness. But her vision seemed to be playing tricks on her! “Huh... What’s going on here... LARRY?” Karl was crouching in front of her. Sheila suddenly smiled. “Larry! You found me! You came to save me! Thank God, I knew you would read my message and then come looking for me!” Karl smiled
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 655 Let’s Tell the Truth
Vicente felt like he was going to have a heart attack when he encountered the one person he least wanted to see. “PAULINA! What do you think you’re doing here?” “Your son gave my daughter the address.” Paulina smiled mischievously. “What do you mean?” Vicente shook his head. “Wait, I think Nate mentioned something about this, but I never thought you’d have the guts to show up!” “I had to come.” Paulina's smile faded. “Please, Vicente, we need to talk, no matter how much we deny it to our children.” “Andreia isn’t here,” Vicente replied tersely. “I know. I’ve been keeping track of you. My phone isn’t the best, but I can watch your videos after the live stream ends,” Paulina responded, trying to create connections — or resurrect ties from the past. Vicente, however, was not open to that. “You’d better leave before—” “Nathan is nearby? Please, Vicente!” Paulina pleaded with her eyes and tense voice. Vicente opened the door wider and let Paulina in, closing it behind her. “I don
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 656 The Slapped Heir
At the Beach House, Vicente and Paulina were talking after many years of separation. But Vicente seemed to dislike the conversation. “Paulina, you must be completely insane!” Vicente roared. “Tell the truth to our children? Is that really what you want?” “It would be best for everyone,” Paulina replied calmly. “Best for who? For my son? Do you really want to go down the path of truth?” Vicente glared at her, with severe suspicion. “And what should that mean?” Paulina asked, deeply offended. “Then tell me the truth that sets us free, Paulina!” Vicente exclaimed ironically. “Confirm to me that Bella is indeed getting close to Nate with the mission of killing him!” Paulina abruptly stood up from the sofa. “But that’s a wild accusation!” “You said you wanted to tell the truth to our children!” Vicente shouted furiously. “So tell me, Paulina! Confirm what I already know! Let’s be open and honest, isn’t that what you want?” Paulina lowered her head, embarrassed. “I can’t do that, Vi
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 657 Now, Bodyguards Are Necessary
Andreia is in her office at Urbano Magazine. She tries to focus on her tasks, but the conversation she had with Nathan yesterday has left her thoughtful and distracted.“Nathan gave the beach house address to the Alvares couple. Would they dare?”The door to her office opened, and Vicente entered.“Darling, what happened?” Andreia stood up, noticing her husband’s shocked expression. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost!”“Yes, dear, I did!” Vicente exclaimed, horrified. “A ghost from our past!”“I’m almost afraid to ask for more details...” Andreia stepped back.Vicente sat down in a chair, taking a deep breath. “She showed up at the beach house.”Andreia’s eyes went wide. She had just been thinking about...“Paulina?”“Exactly,” Vicente confirmed.“But what does she want?” Andreia exclaimed, horrified.“Don’t you get it? It seems Bella gave her mother our address.” Vicente sighed, trying to calm down.“She gave it to ‘her mother’? Ernesto didn’t show up?” Andreia frowned.“He doesn’t k
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 658 The Commercial
At the docks of Silva Oil Company, the commercial proposed by the Silva family was being filmed.Patricia spoke in front of a camera with the most charismatic smile in the world, “Silva Oil Company is also a company concerned about environmental issues. The company has a monitoring team that conducts relentless inspections on the vessels and platforms located offshore. Since its founding, there has not been a single ecological accident. Our beaches and our sea, along with marine life, are safe.”In another corner, Jackson posed wearing the company uniform, surrounded by barrels and containers.Someone from wardrobe and makeup had to improvise some stains to give Jackson the appearance of a tireless and fearless worker.Some dockworkers were chosen to pose with Jackson, but Gustavo, frowning, approached Ronaldo to talk about it.“My fiancée is doing really well, Cindy,” Ronaldo said with unmistakable passion. “I hope you remain neutral in this aspect.”“I told you, Ron. I intend to wri
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 659 An Unusual Dating Request
The filming for the commercial wrapped up. There wasn’t much to do: Patricia had memorized her lines quickly and managed to deliver what the director wanted in two takes.“I’m very satisfied with both of you,” he said. “This week we’ll return with everything edited and polished. Where do you want to promote the commercial?”“We’ll first spread it on social media,” Ronaldo replied, wrapping his arm around Patricia, smiling. “Then, I’ll want it on TV.”Patricia and Jackson exchanged astonished glances. Cindy didn’t react as if it were something shocking.“OK, wait for the final result. See you soon!”The director turned to the crew that was dismantling the equipment and set.Patricia and Jackson hugged.“Way to go, sis! We’re going to be on television!”“This is so exciting, especially for you, Jackson!”Ronaldo kindly chimed in, “Not just for Jackson, dear. You also deserve all the glory and fame.”“Hmm... I don’t want to be too arrogant.” Patricia broke the hug and turned to her fianc
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 660 The Police Promise to Redeem Themselves
At the Blue Cove police station, Matthew was causing quite a stir with his accusation that the homicide department had been negligent and remiss in assisting Sheila. The door to Carvalho’s office opened. The sergeant gave a slight smile upon seeing who was causing such a commotion. “Mr. Sterling, please follow me to my office.” “Sergeant Carvalho, good to see you!” Matthew formed a smile with his lips that was not one of joy. Evan felt chills down his spine when Matthew smiled that way. Both entered Sergeant Carvalho’s office, leaving the other officers stunned. “Did I hear you right?” Carvalho asked as he walked to his desk. “Your mother, Mrs. Sheila Sterling, has been kidnapped and no one was aware?” “That’s what we suspect,” Evan replied in a low tone. Matthew dragged a chair and sat across from him. “Sergeant, I can’t understand. My mother was kidnapped yesterday, and her boyfriend found her in captivity this morning. She was abducted in the parking lot of his building. Th
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 661 A Mysterious Note
Paulina entered her house, still hardly believing that she had managed to go to Vicente and Andreia’s place.Gasping for breath, she collapsed onto the sofa.“Paulina, you crazy woman... if your husband finds out... no, Ernie can never know about this! He doesn’t trust Vince, he’s never liked him. But... Ernie also wants to keep Bella away from Nathan, so he’ll understand me.”Taking a deep breath, she justified herself. “When everything is resolved, I’ll tell Ernie. That’s right, Paulina, tell him after everything ends the way we want. Not before, or he’ll try to stop me.”Her phone rang, causing Paulina to jump on the sofa. The calm she had managed to achieve vanished like smoke.Checking her phone, she was astonished to see who was calling...“Vince? What do you want now?”“Can we talk?” Vicente was at the Gibraltar Club.“I just got home. What’s up?”“I want to confirm your coming to my house,” Vicente replied seriously.Paulina felt like she was going to faint...******At Urbano

Chapter 938 What Had in the Backpack
As the evening cast long shadows over the elegant interior of the Andrade Mansion, Walter stepped into the vestibule with a satisfied grin. Jacqueline, already waiting near the foyer, eyed him curiously.“Walt, why did you take so long? Did you spend the whole Sunday at the Lion’s Den?” she asked, tilting her head.Walter’s expression was one of mischief. “Let’s just say I spent the day with Linda, as I should.”Jacqueline’s face lit up with a touch of nostalgia. “Oh, I remember when I spent a day with Zach in the favela. We weren’t robbed and we had a blast! Even ate at a street food stand — it was fun.”Walter chuckled. “And your delicate stomach didn’t act up?”“Who said it did?” she replied, giving his chiseled abs a playful pat. “You and your fitness lifestyle should be more worried about fried snacks than I am.”Walter only smiled more, his mind elsewhere.I must’ve burned countless calories in that marathon... he thought to himself. Aloud, he added, “I didn’t even witness the s
Chapter 937 We’re Not in a Relationship
As the afternoon light waned into the beginnings of dusk, Vicente stood by the window of Andreia's hospital room in the Andrade Clinic. He drew the curtains open again, gazing at the sky, which had started to clear after the storm. The clouds were retreating, leaving behind hints of a serene night.“Looks like we’ll have a starry night, at least,” he said, hopeful.“But it won’t be warm,” Andreia replied from her bed, her voice calm but weary.Vicente turned to her and walked closer, the fluorescent hospital light casting a soft glow on his concerned face.“Sweetheart, do you see now that Nate might be right about us not staying at the beach house to take care of Victor?”Andreia nodded, resigned. “Victor would cry nonstop with the wind slamming against the roof and that creepy foam all around.”“Then it’s settled,” Vicente said, gently. “Moving to the apartment Nate found for us is probably for the best.”She shifted slightly, uneasy. “There’s just one thing that worries me about thi
Chapter 936 Lost My Backpack
That afternoon, inside Linda’s bedroom at the Alvares family house, Paulina was involved in an awkward battle with a mountain of blankets. She pulled from one side, while Walter and Linda, unaware of her efforts, tugged from the other. Eventually, Paulina managed to peel back enough of the layers to reveal Walter’s head, shoulders, and chest.From Paulina’s perspective, Walter was a sight to behold — grinning like a mischievous boy, sweaty, flushed, undeniably sexy. Once again, Paulina had to resist the overwhelming temptation to dive into that cocoon and take her daughter’s place!“Mrs. Alvares, thank you so much for your help,” Walter said, still catching his breath.Paulina stammered, “N-no problem... You should go before Ernie comes back.”“And what about Linda?” he asked.“I’ll tell him she’s resting.”She cast a glance at the blanket pile concealing her daughter, clearly either passed out or fast asleep after the relentless pounding she’d endured since the previous night. Paulin
Chapter 935 Rescued from the Foam
That afternoon at the Andrade Clinic, in Andreia’s room, Sergeant Carvalho finally seemed satisfied with Vicente’s answers. Rising from the visitor’s chair, he gave them both a nod.“OK, Mr. Gouveia. For now, I won’t bother you any further with questions about the case. I can see your wife’s getting uncomfortable.”Andreia shook her head, trying her best to hide her discomfort.“No, Sergeant, it’s just—” she began.“I know, I understand,” Carvalho interrupted gently. “You just gave birth, and you want to focus on the baby. Your husband’s clearly happy too, huh?”“You can say that again,” Vicente replied, smiling faintly.“Well, there’s nothing else I can say for now except that we’ll keep investigating. See you around.”“Thank you very much, Sergeant,” Vicente said, watching as Carvalho waved goodbye and stepped out of the room.Once the door clicked shut, Vicente turned to Andreia, remorseful.“I’m sorry, sweetheart. I lost my temper, and it made you feel unwell.”“That’s not it,” sh
Chapter 934 A Cocoon of Sheets
The storm had finally begun to wane.Inside the Beach House, Bella had found herself some of Andreia’s clothes that fit her surprisingly well, while Jonah had to make do with one of Vicente’s robes, which clung too tightly to his frame. Nathan placed three steaming mugs of hot chocolate on the coffee table.“It’s the best I’ve got for now,” he said, settling into his spot.Bella reached for a mug, offering him a warm smile. “Nate, thank you. We came to visit you because of your baby brother.”“Congratulations,” Jonah added.Nathan sat down on the sofa, eyeing them both with mild suspicion. “My dad called. He was worried I’d be swallowed up by that foamy tide. He’s still at the hospital with my mom.”Bella nodded. “It’s better he stays there.”Nathan tilted his head. “He also said you two stopped by.”Jonah tried to sound casual. “Your little brother’s adorable. He was in the arms of that doctor who took him to the clinic.”“Dr. de Paula,” Nathan said.Bella jumped at the opportunity.
Chapter 933 Sheltering Soaked Strayed Ones
That afternoon, at the beach house, Nathan was startled to find Bella and Jonah soaked from the rain, huddled in the doorway.“What the hell are you two doing out there?” he asked, bewildered.“We wanted to visit you,” Bella explained, shivering slightly, “but the rain caught us by surprise!”“And the sea is acting weird,” Jonah added. “This foam started building up... it looks like it’s snowing around your house!”Nathan frowned at the description, but his hospitality won out. “Okay, come in!”Relieved, Bella and Jonah stepped inside, and Nathan quickly shut the door behind them.“I’ve got the heater on,” he said, “but I’m not sure I have clothes that’ll fit either of you.”“If you have robes, that’s enough,” Bella said hopefully.Nathan looked her over thoughtfully. “I think some of my mom’s stuff might fit you. Can’t say the same for Jonah, though.”Without hesitation, Jonah peeled off his wet shirt, adding just a hint of flair to the gesture. “Don’t worry about me,” he said, a lit
Chapter 932 Decision Made By the Rain
On a rainy afternoon at the Silva Penthouse, Fernando returned to the living room holding an empty teacup. Sheila handed him back his cup, then poured herself a generous serving of hot chocolate, feeling increasingly cornered by Liz’s newfound determination.“Liz,” she asked carefully, “does that mean you’re not going to Lagoon City anymore?”Fernando furrowed his brow. “Why are you asking that, sis?”Sheila nodded subtly toward Liz. “Because it seems like she’s on a different path now.”Fernando sat down beside his wife.Liz, still smiling, answered gently, “Yes, Sheila. I’ve made a decision to change my life. First, I’m going to treat Matt’s banishment as a kind of vacation — take time to recover and visit my daughter.”Fernando reached for her hand. “And I’ll make sure my dear wife gets the rest she deserves.”Liz’s expression sharpened with a quiet resolve. “Then, when I return, if I find that Elaine hasn’t kept her word and has been making trouble for Patty and Ron again—”“Liz,
Chapter 931 Elaine Gets the Whole Story
The weather had shifted as the afternoon settled over the beach house. Rain tapped softly against the windows as Nathan lounged on the sofa, scrolling through news on his phone. The screen displayed a surreal video of young people playing in thick, frothy sea foam that looked more like whipped cream than anything natural. The waves consumed the adventurers, and the video cut off just as only two of the six managed to poke their heads back above the foam.Curious, Nathan scrolled down to the comment section, where users speculated on whether the kids had gotten out safely — or why they’d entered the foam in the first place.Suddenly, the distinct sound of his phone ringing broke the silence.He smiled when he saw the caller ID and answered cheerfully, “Hello?”At the Andrade Clinic, Vicente had returned from lunch. A tray beside Andreia suggested she had eaten as well.“Son, is it you?” Vicente asked over the phone.Nathan laughed. “What kind of question is that, Dad?”Vicente’s tone c
Chapter 930 Unpleasant Visitors
Meanwhile, at Andrade Clinic, in Andreia’s room, the mood was much lighter — though not without tension. Jonah stood defensively between Bella and the new parents, trying to defuse the awkward confrontation. But Andreia and Vicente only responded with laughter, finding the situation absurd.Maurício, standing off to the side, finally stepped in, his voice calm but firm.“Guys, I’m not sure what’s going on here, but maybe let’s keep the volume down. The baby needs to rest.”“You’re right,” Vicente agreed, wiping away tears of laughter. “Our son’s trying to nap.”Jonah looked incredulous. “I still can’t believe how you talk about Bella. She came here as Nathan’s ex — she thought it was kind to visit his new brother.”Bella, clearly offended, folded her arms. “I really did think he’d be here. But I guess not. I should go.”“Congratulations, anyway,” Jonah added hastily as he followed her out.Vicente’s voice called after them with finality. “Bella, it’s best you stay away from my son. He
